Murrine Suttles 1930-2015
Murrine B. Suttles, 85, St. Marys, passed away Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2015, at the Community Hospital in St. Marys.
Mrs. Suttles, the daughter of Murry Ernest and Lillian Everine Carls Rice, was born June 10, 1930, in St. Clere; she was raised and lived in the St. Clere community many years until moving to St. Marys.

She planted, harvested and prepared produce from her garden each year and would unselfishly give canned and cooked foods as gifts to her family and friends to enjoy. Murrine loved her family and God with deep devotion and kept her faith strong as a member of the Rossville Bible Church.
